How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
If I don't receive the money from GiveDirectly, by now I wouldn't have had a house, I wouldn't have the blankets that I have and even food. So my life is now different
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To me, GiveDirectly does everything well, I can't point out what it doesn't do well. GiveDirectly has helped me and my family so it does well by giving us money.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I spent my transfer on making bricks, buying wood so that I can build a house. I also spent some of the money on buying food, for example maize for the family.
